Given the changes announced regarding the new immigration policies in the United States, it is worth knowing what procedures are available to you to be able to legally remain in North American territory. Different statuses offer different benefits and obligations. Learn how humanitarian parole and green card differ.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), urges people interested in entering the territory to follow legal means to live in the North American nation and, among the available options are the following:
- Humanitarian leave or parole. This status is granted to a foreign citizen, who would otherwise be inadmissible to the United States, to temporarily enter the country. This, as long as it can justify an urgent and emergency humanitarian reason, or a significant public benefit.
- Green card. This card endorses a person as a permanent resident, and allows someone to live and work indefinitely in the United States.
Another important difference is that a person who obtains a stay for humanitarian reasons cannot work legally, To do this, you must complete an additional procedure and meet certain requirements. The green card grants that right automatically.
How to apply for a work permit without humanitarian parole?
Again, Having humanitarian parole does not give you the right to work in the United States. If you wish to do this procedure, an expert immigration lawyer provided the following advice:
- To obtain the Employment Authorization Document (EAD), you must have current humanitarian parole or have a pending asylum application.
- File Form I-765, or Application for Employment Authorization, with Uscis.
- Request a social security number. This process is carried out in the second part of the same form and will generally be delivered to you seven days after the EAD.
